问题     Advertising is a form of selling. For thousands of years there have been individuals who have tried to persuade others to buy the food they have produced or the goods they have made or the services they can perform.
    But the mass production of goods resulting from the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century made person-to-person selling less efficient than it previously was for most products. The mass distribution of goods that followed the development of rail and highway systems made person-to-person Selling too slow and expensive for almost all Companies. At the same time, however, a growth in mass communication occurred first in newspapers and magazines, than radio and television that made mass selling possible. Advertising, then, is merely selling or salesmanship functioning in the paid space or time of various mass communication media.
    The objective of any advertisement is to convince people that it is in their best interests to take an action the advertiser is recommending. The action may be to purchase a product, go to a showroom to try the product, use a service, vote for political candidate, make a contribution, or even to join the army. Like any personal salesperson, the advertisement tries to persuade. The decision is the prospect’ s.
    While advertising brings the economies of mass selling to the manufacturer, it produces benefits for the consumer as well. Some of those economies are passed along to the purchaser so that the cost of a product sold primarily through advertising is usually far less than one sold through personal salespeople advertising brings people immediate news about products that have just come on the market. Finally, advertising pays for the programs on commercial television and radio and for about two thirds of the cost publishing magazines and newspapers.
From the last sentence of the second paragraph we learn______.
选项 A、advertising is no different from person-to-person selling in substance
B、advertising extends sales promotion to a larger area
C、advertising has greatly improved the production of goods
D、it is very expansive to advertises a new product
答案A
解析 这句话的意思为：“广告与面对面直销的方式本质上没什么区别”。该句可译为：“可见，广告只不过是花钱利用各种媒体的时间和版面完成销售或推销的目的。”
